Sept. 16-New Orleans banks suspend specie payments. Ky. banks refuse to suspend. Later, many castern banks sus- pend specie payment.

Sept .- The Legislature in both branches, remarkably ingenious, industrious and en- terprising in the paper-Resolution line ; Resolutions proposed, discussed, amended,

tabled, adopted, of every variety-princi- pally patriotic, or quasi patriotic, or stay- at-home-and-not-figlit patriotic, reasonable or unreasonable, discreet or indiscreet, well-timed or untimely, amusing or sober, liberal or severe, magnanimous or cruel. It is the only legislature in eighty years since the formation of the state, that de- serves to, and probably will, be remembered in history as the " Resolution-Legisla- ture ! "

Sept. 16-Resolution in the house, to in- quire into the expediency of establishing a bank based upon the real estate of the commonwealth, to be called the People's Real Estate Bank of Kentucky, with $5,- 000,000 capital, and a branch in each con- gressional district.

Sept. 18-In consequence of the action of Confederate generals Polk and Zolli- coffer, in seizing and occupying certain strategic points in Kentucky, the com- mittee on federal relations report the fol- lowing, in the house of representatives :

"WHEREAS, Kentucky has been invaded by the forces of the so-called Confederate States, and the commanders of the forces so invading the State have insolently pre- scribed the conditions upon which they will withdraw, thus insulting the dignity of the State by demanding terms to which Kentucky can not listen without dishonor ; therefore,

"1. Be it resolved by the General Assem- bly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, That the invaders must be expelled ; inasmuch as there are now in Kentucky Federal troops assembled for the purpose of pre- serving the tranquility of the State, and of defending and protecting the people of Kentucky in the peaceful enjoyment of their lives and property. It is-

" 2. Further resolved, That General Rob- ert Anderson, a native Kentuckian, who has been appointed to command of the de- partment of Cumberland, be requested to take instant command, with authority and power from this Commonwealth to call out a volunteer force in Kentucky for the pur- pose of repelling the invaders from our soil.

" 3. Resolved, That in using the means which duty and honor require shall be used to expel the invaders from the soil of Kentucky, no citizen shall be molested on account of his political opinions ; that no citizen's property shall be taken or confis- cated because of such opinions, nor shall any slave be set free by any military com- mander, and that all peaceable citizens and their families are entitled to, and shall re- ceive, the fullest protection of the govern- ment in the enjoyment of their lives, their liberties, and their property.

" 4. Resolved, That his Excellency, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Ken- tucky, be requested to give all the aid in his power to accomplish the end desired by these resolutions, and that he call out so much of the military force of the State under his command as may be necessary therefor, and that he place the same un-

der the command of Gen. Thomas L. Crittenden.

"5. Resolved, That the patriotism of every Kentuckian is invoked, and is con- fidently relied upon to give active aid in the defense of the Commonwealth."

The resolutions are adopted seriatim- the 1st by 73 to 23, the 2d by 69 to 27, 3d by 93 to 3, 4th by 72 to 24, 5th, by 73 to 23, and preamble by 73 to 23. The senate adopts them by 26 to 9. Sept. 20, Gov. Magoffin, in a forcible and dignified mes- sage, vetoes them ; but the house, by 69 to 21, and the senate, by 24 to 10, immedi- ately pass them again, "the objections of the governor to the contrary notwith- standing." The governor issues his proc- lamation, the same day, precisely as re- quired in the resolutions.

Sept .- Brig. Gen. Simon B. Buckner, in command of a brigade of Confederate troops at Camp Boone, Tenn., near the Ky. line, soon moves up to Bowling Green. About Sept. 15, Gen. Albert Sidney John- ston is appointed to command of the de- partment of the West, Confederate States army.

Sept. 18-U. S. post office department "issues an order that, as the Louisville Courier is an advocate of treason and hos- tility to the government and authority of the United States, it should be excluded from the mails, until further orders." And on the same day the publication of the paper is interdicted.

Sept. 18-Brig. Gen. S. B. Buckner, C. S. A., with Confederate troops, occupies Bowling Green ; and issues a proclamation "To the people of Kentucky," giving his "own assurance that the force under his command will be used to aid the Governor of Kentucky in carrying out the 'strict neutrality' desired by its people whenever they undertake to enforce it against the two belligerents alike." A portion of his forces come as far as Elizabethtown.

Sept. 18-Confederate troops burn the bridge over Rolling Fork, 5 miles west of Muldrow's Hill, on the Louisville and . Nashville railroad; and Union men burn the bridge at Rollin.

Sept. 19 .- Spirited skirmish at Bar- boursville bridge, between Home Guards and Confederate troops.

Sept. 20-Legislature adopts " Resolu- tions providing for the peace and quict of the citizens," which Gov. Magoffin, 23d, sends forth by proclamation.

Sept. 21-The house, by 88 to 4, and senate, by 33 to 1, pass an act to borrow $300,000 to "mect the current expenses of the government," but out of it a prior loan of $60,000 to be repaid to the Bank of Ky.

There are now 3 camps in Tennessee, near the Ky. line, for enlisting and drill- ing Kentucky volunteers for the Confcd- erate army-Camps Boone, Burnett and Breckinridge.

Gen. Geo. HI. Thomas supersedes Licut. Wm. Nelson in the command of Camp Dick Robinson ; and the latter establishes Camp

Kenton, in Mason county, 3 miles from Maysville, on or near the spot where Simon Kenton's station was erected in 1785. Camps for Federal soldiers are established at Falmouth in Pendleton county, on Col. Metcalfe's farm in Nicholas county, and at other points.

Sept. 21-Proclamation of Brig. Gen. Robert Anderson, from Louisville : "Ken- tuckians ! called by the legislature of this, my native state, I hereby assume com- mand of this (Cumberland) Department," &c.

Sept. 21-The locks on Green river blown up by order of Gen. Buckner.

Sept. 22-Arrest at Harrodsburg-by Union officers of " what were called Home Guards "-" while on their way home- ward, on leave of absence," of senator John L. Irvan, and representatives Geo. W. Ewing and Geo. W. Silvertooth. The legislature sends a joint committee to se- cure their release, who report a resolution, That their arrest "was illegal, unwar- ranted, and is disapproved ; and that the arrest of any citizen of this State, except for sufficient cause and in accordance with law, meets our condemnation, and is in conflict with a series of resolutions passed by the present General Assembly ;" which in modified forms passed each house ; as the senate insisted upon the wording of its resolution, the house, rather than recede, laid the resolution on the table.

Sept. 23-Military Board may order into their custody certain arms and equip- ments, upon penalty, for non-compliance, of a heavy fine and imprisonment [De- signed to abolish the State Guard]. .. 25. - Additional and extensive powers given to said Board ; Edmund H. Taylor and John B. Temple substituted for Gov. Magoffin and Dr. John B. Peyton ; anthor- ized to borrow $1,000,000 additional, on the credit of the state ; additional tax of 5 cents per $100 worth of taxable property levied [Passed senate by 21 to 4, and house by 62 to 14.]

Sept. 24-Gen. Anderson issues the fol- lowing proclamation :

"The cominanding General, understand- ing that apprehension is entertained by citizens of this State who have hitherto been in opposition to the policy now adopted by this State, hereby gives notice that no Kentuckian shall be arrested wcho remains at home attending to his business and does not take part, either by action or speech, against the authority of the Gen- eral or State Government, or does not hold correspondence with, or give aid or assist- ance to, those who have chosen to array themselves against us as our cnemies.

port, and Col. Geo. W. Johnson, of Scott co., arrived the day before ; and U. S. sen- ator John C.

Sept. 25-The senate, by 15 to 11, passed a bill making all who voluntarily join any military force which may invade Ky., or who shall give aid and comfort to such, "incapable of taking any estate in Ky. by devise, bequest, descent or distribution ;" with other provisions similar in spirit. The bill was rejected in the house.

Sept. 25 .- The house, by 70 to 13, and senate, by 21 to 5, pass a bill directing the governor by proclamation to call out not less than 40,000 Kentuckians, for from 1 to 3 years, to repel the invasion by " armed forces, acting under the authority of the so-called Confederate States," to be " un- der the command of the general com- manding the state forces in the field ;" also, in addition, 1,500 "sharp-shooters and scouts," and 500 " horsemen and scouts," who " shall receive $5 per month of extra pay." The governor, Sept. 30, vetoed the bill, because of the unconstitutional feature which deprives the governor of his power as commander-in-chief. It was immediately passed over the veto, by 68 to 11 in the house, and 22 to 3 in the senate. The governor issued his procla- mation as required. A supplemental act, next day, directs the state forces to be mustered into the U. S. service.

Such friendly aid cannot fail to strengthen the bonds of har- mony which have ever united Ky. with her northern neighbors."

Oct. 1-A resolution in the senate, by Walter C. Whitaker, that whereas Gov. Magoffin does not and will not carry out the will of the people of Kentucky, he be requested to resign-was referred to the committee on federal relations ; but was never reported upon, and no further action taken.

[It is proper to state here that resolu- tions-of inquiry ; propositions for a com- mission to treat with the U. S. government for the removal of all U. S. troops from Kentucky, and a like commission to pro- cure the removal of Confederate troops ; and others more or less appropriate to the different occasions-were repeatedly of- fered by the states' rights members of the senate and house of representatives. But they experienced the fate usual to all small minorities ; their resolutions and propositions were summarily voted down.]

Oct. 1-Gov. Magoffin vetoes a bill which "requires information, surveys, maps and drawings to be given to officers of the army, upon application therefor, without delay," under a heavy penalty for non-compliance-upon the constitutional ground that " private property shall not be taken for public use without just compen- sation, previously made." The house sus- tains the veto, by 72 to 1 [Wm. P. Boone.]

Oct. 7-Brig. Gen. Robert Anderson, in Order No. 5, " regrets that arrests are be- ing made, in some parts of the state, upon the slightest and most trivial grounds. He desires the civil authorities, and orders the military, not to make any arrests-ex- cept when the parties are attempting to join the rebels, or are engaged in giving aid or information to them; and in all cases the evidence must be such as will convict them before a court of justice." He says that in many cases the Home Guards have gone into adjoining counties, and arrested and carried off parties quietly remaining at home ; others have been ar- rested and taken out of the state-all con- trary to his wish. He urges a " discon- tinuance of these ill-timed and unlawful arrests."

Gen. Anderson issues to loyal persons who have unsettled business in the South- ern Confederaey, passes to go there through Ky.

Sherman, informing of the arrest of persons "merely on account of their southern sympathies and secession opin- ions, without proof or imputation of any overt act of treason or aiding treason." Gen.

Oct. 16-Hon. Simon Cameron, U. S. secretary of war, accompanied by Brig. Gen. L. Thomas, adjutant general of U. S. army, visits Louisville, to consult with Gen. Sherman, Hon. James Guthrie, and Gen. Wood as to the conduct of the war in Ky. Gen. Sherman " gave a gloomy pic- ture of affairs in Ky., stating that the

and had joined the confederates ; while the Union men, the aged, and conserva- tives would not enrol themselves to engage in conflict with their relatives on the other side ; but few regiments could be raised." " He deemed 200,000 men" necessary to drive the rebels from the state. The Sec- retary of War desired that the Cumberland Ford and Gap should be seized ; the troops must assume the offensive; he was tired of a defensive war. Gen. Sherman in- formed him that the arms sent to Ky. " had passed into the hands of the Home Guards, and could not be recovered ; that many were already in the hands of the rebels, and others refused to surrender those in their possession, desiring to use them in defense of their individual homes if in- vaded." Oct. 17th, Mr. Cameron, Gen. L. Thomas, and Mr. Guthrie visited Lex- ington. and found the opinion existed there that the young men had joined the rebels, that no large bodies of troops could be raised in Ky., and that the defense of the state must devolve upon the free states of the northwest.

Oct. 19-Sinking fund commissioners cancel and burn $1,277,050 of Ky. state bonds and coupons ;- of these, $526,040 were coupons, $600,000 bonds purchased of the Southern Bank of Ky., and $151,010 of other parties.

Zollicoffer, with 7,000 Confederate troops. Shortly after, Gen. A. Schœpff, with the 33d Indi- ana, 17th Ohio, 14th Ohio, with a battery of artillery, Col. Wolford's 1st Ky. cav- alry, and, later, the Ist and 2d Tennessee regiments, reinforce Col. Garrard.

Oct. 31-Gen. Sherman, commanding in Ky., says in a circular: "The removal of prisoners (except spies and prisoners of war) from the state,-without giving them an opportunity for trial by the legal tri- bunals of the country-does not meet my approval." He directs that they shall be taken before a judge or U. S. commis- sioner, " to be examined and dealt with according to law."

Nov. 1-Col. Richard H. Stanton, Wm. T. Casto, Isaac Nelson, Ben. F. Thomas, Gco. Forrester (all from Maysville), sent on to Fort Lafayette, New York city ; they were arrested in Oct., by order of Gen. Wm. Nelson, and imprisoned in Camp Chase, at Columbus, Ohio.
